Since initial slope of the bode plot is 40 dB/decade, so no. of poles at origin is 2. Transfer function can be written in following steps: Slope changes from 40 dB/dec. to 60 dB/dec. at 1 = 2 rad/sec., so at 1 there is a pole in the transfer function. Slope changes from 60 dB/dec to 40 dB/dec at 2 = 5 rad/sec., so at this frequency there is a zero lying in the system function. The slope changes from 40 dB/dec to 60 dB/dec at 3 = 25 rad/sec, so there is a pole in the system at this frequency. Transfer function K (s + 5) T (s) = 2 s (s + 2) (s + 25) Constant term can be obtained as. T (j) at = 0.1 = 80 K (5) So, 80 = 20 log (0.1) 2 # 50 K = 1000 therefore, the transfer function is 1000 (s + 5) T (s) = 2 s (s + 2) (s + 25) Hence (B) is correct option.
